There something about waterfalls...





On saturday snobbed the hype that was Harambee Stars Vs Super Eagles match for the pineapple express. Thika, the Burmingham of Kenya has always been receptive on weekends. Lunch at Blue Post Hotel turned out to be a motivator interms of water falls. The Chania falls on one side and Thika falls on the other. The beauty of the water falls was so breath taking we had to drive to the fourteen falls. An old school picnic joint during my campus days had turned into a serious venture by the County Council. It has become a source of revenue though I couldnt see any re-investment back to the site. The falls are still as beautiful as I had left them seven years back though i depends much on the amount of water on river Athi. With the current rainny season, the falls were a deadly site. talk of a deadly site, another deadly sight was the divers. They made jumping from cliffs into the falls look so easy forgetting the dangers involved.

The Yu advert where the father and son jump must have been inspired by these 14 falls jumpers.

  2. Thanks man! My hometown is Thika but it took the dry conditions of 2009 to make me appreciate the beauty. All these beauty is lost with the drying up of rivers thus need to conserve them.
    Cheers.
